We have observed the field of GRB 090113 (Krimm et al. GCN 8804) with 1.0m
telescope at Mt. Lemmon Optical Astronomy Observatory (LOAO) in Arizona. We
took R, I, z, Y-band images beginning at UT 02:00:28 and UT 02:29:47 on
January 14 2009 respectively. On stacked images with 3 x 300 secs exposures
in R and I-band images, no new source was detected.
The starting points of observation and 3 sigma detection limits (5" aperture
mag) are as below.

Band        Starting point                     exp.             detection
limit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R             07h 19m 49s after trigger     3x300sec        21.1
I             07h 49m 08s after trigger     3x300sec        20.5

The detection limit was calibrated by USNO B1.0 stars.
